Recurrence rate after piecemeal endoscopic mucosal resection of 10 – 19mm nonpedunculated lesions: should we worry about the risk?
Authors: T. Lima Capela, A. I. Ferreira, V. Macedo Silva, M. Freitas, T. Gonçalves, F. Dias De Castro, J. Cotter
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims Size threshold for recommending early repetition of colonoscopy (ERC) after piecemeal endoscopic mucosal resection (pEMR) of nonpedunculated colorectal lesions (NPL) is ≥20mm. Nevertheless, there is scarce data focused on recurrence/residual tissue rate (RR) after pEMR of 10–19mm NPL. We aimed to determine the RR after pEMR of 10–19mm NPL and compare it with the RR of ≥20mm NPL.

Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims There is insufficient information on the optimal guidewire for managing malignant hilar biliary obstruction (MHBO). Therefore, a newly designed 0.025-inch guidewire was compared with the conventional 0.035-inch guidewire for selective cannulation of both intrahepatic ducts (IHDs) in patients with MHBO ([Fig. 1]).
Different biopsies handling protocols in digital single-operator cholangioscopy for indeterminate biliary strictures: a retrospective analysis of a single tertiary center
Authors: V. G. Mirante, A. Cippitelli, G. Carlinfante, C. Cardamone, S. Grillo, G. Sereni, V. Iori, R. Sassatelli
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims Indeterminate biliary strictures (IDBS) represents a diagnostic challenge. Digital single-operator cholangioscopy (D-SOC) allows biopsies of biliary lesions under direct visualization [1]. However, the diagnostic yield of D-SOC is still suboptimal [2], and the optimal specimen processing technique remains unclear. In our analysis, we retrospectively compared three different tissue processing methods to determine the optimal strategy ([Table 1]).

Outcomes of Minor versus Major Papilla Rendez-vous for EUS-guided Pancreatic Duct Drainage
Authors: M. Bronswijk, D. Persyn, H. van Malenstein, W. Laleman, S. Van der Merwe
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims EUS-guided pancreatic duct drainage (EUS-PD) using rendez-vous has been suggested as a safer alternative to pancreatogastrostomy. Large stones or extensive fibrosis in the pancreatic head may however preclude a major papilla rendez-vous, leading to preferential guidewire advancement through the minor papilla. Our aim was to compare the outcomes of minor and major papilla rendez-vous.
Complete endoscopic removal of right hepatolithiasis after left hepatectomy
Authors: A. R. Franco, I. Simão, R. Mendes, A. Mascarenhas, C. O'Neill, R. Mendo, T. Bana, E Costa
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text Bile duct stricture formation is the most common late complication of bile duct resection and reconstruction and patients who develop post-operative biliary strictures are susceptible to the formation of lithiasis. Complete stone removal and correction of associated stricture is mandatory, either by percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy, peroral cholangioscopy, partial hepatectomy or hepatic transplant. We present the case of a 58 year old male with past medical history of a left extended hepatectomy with right hepaticocholedocostomy 3 years before due a Klatskin tumour type IIIa who developed extensive right hepatolithiasis, which was completely resolved with ERCP and cholangioscopy [1] [2] [3] [4] [5].
EUS-guided drainage of non-surgical pelvic abscesses using small size lumen-apposing metal stents
Authors: L. Monino, R. Bachmann, M. A. Denis, D. Leonard, C. Remue, A. Kartheuser, T. Moreels
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text Endoscopic-ultrasound pelvic abscess drainage (EUS-PAD) is an alternative to the percutaneous and surgical approach to treat non-surgical pelvic abscesses. We reported case series of EUS-PAD of non-surgical pelvic abscesses using small lumen apposing metal stent (LAMS). Five patients (4 men, 36-83 years) underwent EUS-PAD using small LAMS. Technical success rate was 100 %. One LAMS was misdeployed and placed correctly using a rescue technique. All LAMS were endoscopically removed after 2 weeks and replaced by a double pigtail stent if it were necessary. Clinical success rate was 80% without pelvic abscess recurrence. EUS-PAD using small LAMS seems feasible and safe to treat pelvic abscesses of non-surgical origin ([Table 1]).

Authors: A. Palermo, O. Ksissa, L. Dioscoridi, F. Pugliese, G. Bonato, M. Bravo, M. Cintolo, E. Forti, M. Mutignani
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text An 84-years-old man with a history of Whipple procedure presented biliodigestive anastomosis (BDA) stricture and bile duct stones (BDSs). A first ERCP performed in other hospital failed to reach the BDA, hence percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage was placed and the patient was referred to our hospital. BDA was reached using a pediatric colonoscope. Pneumatic dilatation was performed, and stones were removed through Dromia basket. Multiple biliary fc-SEMS were placed, with plastic inside of them. Six months later, cholangiography showed recurrence of multiple large BDSs. Due to the large caliber of BDA after fc-SEMS placement, a direct access to hepatic duct was performed and BDSs were removed.

Multi-step treatments of recurrent colorectal anastomosis
Authors: A. Martinez-Alcalá, E. O. Jaime, P. P. Jorge, G. G. Francisco, V. P. Carlos, C. Marta, G. S. Raquel, P. D. Angel
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text In this video, we present a 69-year-old male with a history of sigmoid colon adenocarcinoma pN1c operated by laparoscopic sigmoidectomy that required Hartmann's intervention for anastomotic dehiscence, with subsequent reconstruction of the transit by termino-lateral anastomosis. In follow-up, the patient presented recurrent stenosis of the anastomosis, which requires multiple endoscopic treatments performed in sequential sessions. The treatment of severe and recurrent postoperative stenosis sometimes requires multiple endoscopic techniques to achieve an optimal response maintained over time.

Use of the Soehendra Stent Retriever as a dilator in severe stenosis not responsive to conventional treatments: A single center real life case series
Authors: T. Fernández Llamas, A. Pereñiguez López, J. Egea Valenzuela, C. Bógalo Romero, F.J. Sánchez Roncero, C. Espuche Jiménez, J.A. Morilla Fernández, M. Muñoz Tornero, F. Alberca De Las Parras
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims The Soehendra stent retriever (SSR) (Wilson Cook Medical, Winston-Salem, N.C.) was designed to facilitate the removal of endobiliary stents by its capture via self-tapping threads on the distal tip of the extractor. The SSR is like a screw drill and can be also useful for dilating severe strictures. The mechanism of action is probably the engagement of the stricture by the self-tapping threads which, when torqued clockwise, results in both mechanical displacement of tissue and dilation of the stricture. We frequently face difficulties for the recanalization of high-grade biliary and pancreatic strictures in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, or accessing structures during an endoscopic ultrasound. The SSR can be useful when standard techniques such as balloon dilation are not successful. However, reports of SSR use in the previously mentioned situations are limited.
Usefulness of near-focus magnification with narrow-band imaging in the prediction of Helicobacter pylori infection: a prospective trial
Authors: J. Y. Jang
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims Although magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (NBI) is an effective method to predict Helicobacter. pylori (H. pylori)-infected stomach, it is often time consuming and requiring considerable experience and training. Therefore, we investigated the performance of near focus (NF)-NBI, a novel simplified and modest magnifying endoscopy, for predicting H. pylori infection compared with white light (WL) endoscopy.

Two endoscopic salvage extractions of fish bones by extra-anatomic cholangioscopy
Authors: E. Tenorio Gonzalez, E. Santos Perez, H. Alric, B. El Khoury, H. Benosman, G. Perrod, C. Cellier, G. Rahmi, E. Perez-Cuadrado Robles
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text Fish bones can migrate through the digestive tract to the adjacent organ parenchyma, causing several complications such as perforation, infection or bleeding. The endoscopic alternatives in these cases are limited and a surgical approach is often required. Cholangioscopy and pancreatoscopy are expanding techniques with an increasing number of indications and could represent an alternative to surgery in selected cases. We report two cases in which extra-anatomic cholangioscopy was performed to access to a liver and pancreatic abscesses, allowing the extraction of these foreign bodies.

Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an established procedure to remove early rectal neoplasia. A curative resection is defined by the following criteria: R0, L0, V0, G1/2, submucosal invasion depth ≤1000 µm. The limit of ≤1000 µm has already been reviewed controversially in other studies as data supporting the 1000µm margin is weak. We examined the importance of this criterion in relation to the curative resection rate.

Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims In 2022, the Simplified Endoscopic Mucosal Assessment for Crohn’s Disease (SEMA-CD) was created and internally validated, aiming to simplify endoscopic activity assessment in CD. This score was shown to be easier and faster to apply than previously used Simple Endoscopic Score for CD (SES-CD). In our investigation, we aimed to apply this score on a European population and to assess if its prognostic value was the same as SES-CD.
Self dilation prevents esophageal stenosis after extensive circumferential ESD
Authors: R. Pouw, J.J.G.H. M. Bergman
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text Circumferential ESD in the esophagus has a very high rate of stenosis, especially with a significant longitudinal extent of the lesion. No effective preventive measures have so far been described. We demonstrate a case of a woman who learned to introduce a 14mm bougie prior to ESD for a 10cm long squamous cell cancer (T1m2). The ESD would have resulted in a stenosis requiring multiple endoscopic dilations, despite injection of steroids and oral prednison. By starting self dilation 2 days after the ESD, she could tolerate a normal diet and did not need any endoscopic dilations. The first endoscopy was done after 8 weeks for follow-up. We hope to demonstrate the healed esophagus during ESGE days.
